Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk together until fully combined. Add additional salt/pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing over the pasta salad ingredients and toss gently to combine until the dressing evenly coats everything.
Notes
If you prefer no deli meat, you can use chopped turkey breast, chicken breast, or baked cubed ham.For an added protein + fiber boost, choose a legume based pasta like Banza pasta or Barilla chickpea pasta. To save time, you can also use a bottled Italian dressing.
